Tase Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hugh, I'll have a set of the NR ones please. Is there a specific date in November when pre-ordering goes live? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 At least three are in use with the SITT trains as ploughs. I'm trying to trace pics, but this is an ex-SPA and another I was going to ask what the SITT trains are until I realised Snow and Ice Treatment Trains. How many of these trains are there? Are the plough wagons that you highlight SPAs that were formerly in Network Rail Yellow and if so, do you know when they were converted? Since the SPAs presumably all passed to EWS on privatisation, I assume that ownership of five of these must have passed to Network Rail at some later point and therefore it would make sense if these were then modified to something else. "The NR one with only 5 ever done I thought it best to sell in full set with only 220 of each number ,I think if one sold out there would be unhappy modellers saying I want the set? And NR is a good seller.And 5 will look great for a short train?" Hugh, what I was trying to ascertain is 'Do they run as a set'? A quick search on this site revealed a post that states "There are 5 ZAAs in NR livery, nos 460049, 460056, 460059, 460060 & 460063. Based at Hoo Junction, but most likely never used, certainly OOU when I saw them in 2008, not been to Hoo recently." If they were all based at the same location, I guess that they may have made a short train although I may need some modellers licence to get them from Hoo to Scotland!

Hi Dungrange, The Network Rail Yellow ones never made it to Scotland. I think both Mick and Paul Wade have commented about their usage - or should it be lack of it?

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 7, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2015 I was going to ask what the SITT trains are until I realised Snow and Ice Treatment Trains. How many of these trains are there? Are the plough wagons that you highlight SPAs that were formerly in Network Rail Yellow and if so, do you know when they were converted? The date on the pictures is a clue............. late 2011/early 2012. (Recent info from one that knows more, is that all five are now in use as SITT ploughs) At least 12 SITT wagons. Although pics of the plough wagons seem to be a bit more difficult to find. You've listed the numbers - crack on! Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi Dungrange, The Network Rail Yellow ones never made it to Scotland. I think both Mick and Paul Wade have commented about their usage - or should it be lack of it? Thanks I can confirm I had seen the NR SPAs in Hoo Junction. See pic below. They appeared little used or unused (with weeds growing into the interiors). I didn't visit much to see any movement. Sorry pic is the interior but this was a request and they are far to modern for me. They were rebuilt to the snowploughs as pic below. While these are moved about I don't think they have been used in anger, and they don't look very useful. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the little snowploughs on the far end? that looks like the same kind or size of ploughs as on things like the Class 153s and 156s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YesTor Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi, I have been trying to contact Hugh via the FTG website which states, "All I need from you is an email stating that you would like a set saving. I do not require payment until they are on the boat..." Well, firstly there appears to be no email address provided via the website, and secondly no response to any queries sent via the online enquiry form. Any ideas please...? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
